Summary
El tĂtulo "NĂșmeros" proviene de los dos censos que son caracterĂsticos de este libro. Sin embargo, el tĂtulo hebreo "en el desierto" es mĂĄs descriptivo del libro. NĂșmeros cuenta cĂłmo el pueblo de Dios viajĂł desde el Monte SinaĂ hasta la frontera de la Tierra Prometida. Pero cuando se negaron a tomar posesiĂłn de la Tierra, Dios los hizo vagar por el desierto durante casi cuarenta años. A travĂ©s del libro, Dios es visto como un Dios Santo que no puede permitir la desobediencia, pero quien al mismo tiempo guarda fielmente su pacto y satisface pacientemente las necesidades de su pueblo. NĂșmeros termina con una nueva generaciĂłn preparĂĄndose para la conquista de CanaĂĄn. La mayorĂa de los judĂos y cristianos reconocen a MoisĂ©s como el autor de este libro, y se estima que lo escribiĂł durante el Ășltimo año de su vida (alrededor de 1405 a. C.)
English translation:
The title ânumbersâ comes from the two censuses that are feature of this book. However the Hebrew title âin the Wilderness,â is more descriptive of the book. Numbers tells how Godâs people traveled from Mount Sinai to the border of the Promised Land. But when they refused to take possession of the Land, God made them wander in the wilderness for nearly forty years. Throughout the book, God is seen as a Holy God who cannot permit disobedience, but also as the one who faithfully keeps His covenant and patiently provides for the needs of His people. Numbers ends with a new generation preparing for the conquest of Canaan. Most Jews and Christians recognize Moses as the author of Numbers, and it is believed that he wrote it during the final year of his life (about 1405 BC)
